There's a place in the orchard ...

where the sun kisses the leaves
makes sparkles in the grass
and brings back memories of childhood days

2010 Calendars - hot off the presses!

I've designed three desk calendars for 2010 and had a blast doing it. We're almost at the sequel year to 2001 A Space Odyssey (probably won't be as good, if the year is anything like the movie). How did that happen!?! They're available in my Etsy shop, where I'm also having a wee 20% off sale on 8x8 and 8x10 prints until this Sunday October 4 at midnight.

The first calendar is called "Eye Poetry" and is full of dreamy photographs.


The second is called "Two if by sea", and includes 12 of my favourite seascapes.


The third is my "Paris is for Lovers" calendar for those who want to be reminded of a past trip or to be inspired to plan one (or just daydream quite frankly).


Here's a sample of the calendar pages (from the Eye Poetry Calendar).

Mark and Sarah getting married

On Labour Day weekend, Eastern and Western Canada came together to celebrate the marriage of Mark and Sarah. The weather was gorgeous, the setting was elegant, the couple was radiant, and the guests were ready to party.


There's nothing more natural than a bride and her bridesmaids walking through a parking garage ;)





Sarah was holding it together pretty well .... oh, until about now.




The, ahem, amateur photographers, were itching to take their first photographs of the newlyweds.



OMG! What an adorable grandmother!


(Hi Judy!)



Some congratulations from complete strangers in Old Montreal.


A la Tarantino ...





Some gorgeous light for a gorgeous couple.


Time to party!












Thank you Mark and Sarah for letting me share your special day!

September song

September, thank you for trying to make up for the all the grey and rainy days we had in June, July and August.









The sun shines high above
The sounds of laughter
The birds swoop down upon
The crosses of old grey churches
We say that we're in love
While secretly wishing for rain
Sipping coke and playing games
September's here again
~ David Sylvian

I want to be a part of it

Whenever I visit New York, that's exactly how I feel. Like I'm plugged into something wonderful and amazing. I've managed to go once or twice a decade since I was in high school. This summer TB and I drove to New York for the first time. In my mind, it has always been a place I had to fly to - probably because I grew up in Toronto. But driving makes it a much cheaper trip and so much more accessible. We vowed to visit at least once a year from now on. I can't wait for our next trip!
